Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPersonal Exposure to PM2.5 in the Various Microenvironments as a Traveler in the Southeast Asian CountriesSemih Ozler, Karoline K. Johnson, Michael H. Bergin, James Jay SchauerAir pollution has become a pressing issue in today’s society because of its significant effects on humans, animals, plants, air quality, climate and the wider environment. Most urban areas are associated with one or more air pollutants which are emitted from local or regional pollution sources including vehicle exhausts, fossil fuels using in energy production, emissions from industrial and mining … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 4 · 27 Oct 2018 · 9,277 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSmart Retrofit Solutions of Buildings toward a Low Carbon WorldErdem Cuce, Pinar Mert CuceIn this short communication, energy-efficient, eco-friendly and low-cost solutions for existing buildings are considered in a holistic manner toward low/zero carbon building concept of near future. Buildings are still responsible for about 40% of total primary energy consumption in the world, hence decisive measures need to be taken promptly due to growing significance of environmental issues driven by fossil fuel … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 29 Aug 2018 · 7,174 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimal Planning and Design of an Environmentally Friendly Hybrid Energy System for Rural Electrification in IraqAli Saleh Aziz, Sara Ahmed KhudhierCurrent power systems create environmental effects because of the using of fossil fuels, specially coal, since CO2 is released to the atmosphere. Contrary to conventional energy sources, renewable energy sources produce a clean energy which is in general free of pollution, environmentally sustainable and technologically efficient. There is an increased interest in solar energy that can generate electricity with no … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 26 Jan 2017 · 7,807 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCFD-PBE Modelling and Simulation of Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Cellulose in a Stirred TankNorazaliza Mohd Jamil, Qi WangRenewable energy or biofuel from lignocellulosic biomass is an alternative way to replace the depleting fossil fuels. The production cost can be reduced by increasing the concentration of biomass particles. However, lignocellulosic biomass is a suspension of natural fibres and processing at high solid concentration is a challenging task because it will affect the mixing quality between the enzyme and … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 25 Oct 2016 · 8,002 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractAn Opportunity for the Agricultural Sector: The Renewable Energy SourcesRiccardo Testa, Salvatore TudiscaToday, among the most important issue for energy decisions by policymakers, there are security challenges and environmental impacts on climate change and economic aspects. Since the seventies, in fact, global warming and environmental issues have had an increasing importance in international debate, attracting the attention of several scientific studies (Landi and Benelli, 2016). Many of these studies denoted that over … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 6 Sep 2016 · 8,098 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractProtecting crop species from biotic and abiotic constraints in the era of Global Change: are we ready for this challenge?Marco Landi, Giovanni BenelliReliable and affordable supply of food is of crucial importance to the progress and stability of human societies. During the last century, we have assisted to an extraordinary increase of crop yields, especially for the most widespread and consumed crop species, such as rice, wheat, corn and soybean. The Broadbalk experiment, one of the oldest continuous agronomic experiments in the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 4 Jun 2016 · 8,402 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicrowave-Assisted Co-Pyrolysis of Bamboo Biomass with Plastic Waste for Hydrogen-Rich Syngas ProductionN. Saifuddin, P. Priatharsini, S.B. HakimConcerns about diminishing fossil fuels and increasing greenhouse gas emissions are driving many countries to develop renewable energy sources. The knowledge of the dielectric property is essential to design and develop microwave technology for processing biomass materials. Bamboo biomass was subjected to microwave pyrolysis, to determine the influence of each process on the yield and composition of the derived gas, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 5 · 16 May 2016 · 9,130 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Quaternary Mammals from Kozhamzhar Locality (Pavlodar Region, Kazakhstan)Andrei Valerievich Shpansky, Valentina Nurmagаmbetovna Aliyassova, Svetlana Anatolievna IlyinaA new locality of fossil mammals near Kozhamzhar in Pavlodar Priirtysh Region has been described. The article provides the description of the quaternary sediments section found in the outcrop near Kozhamzhar. In the Karginian Age (MIS 3) alluvial deposits of the described locality we found the remains of Elasmotherium sibiricum, Mammuthus ex gr. trogontherii-chosaricus, Mammuthus primigenius, Bison sp. AMS Radiocarbon … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 15 Feb 2016 · 31,927 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStructural Dynamics of the Distribution Mechanism with Rocking Tappet with RollFlorian Ion T. Petrescu, John Kaiser Calautit, Dragan MarinkovicIn this study, the authors present a new method to dynamically synthesize a mechanism with rotary cam and rotated tappet with roll, used with priority at the distribution mechanisms from the heat engines with internal combustion. This type of distribution can improve the changes of gases and may decrease significantly the level of vibration, noises and emissions. As long as … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 28 Oct 2015 · 9,294 accessesView PDFCite
